En vædder 1748 - 1831

"En vædder" (The Ram) is an etching created by Danish artist J.F. Clemens in the late 18th century, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The artwork depicts a ram standing in a field with a detailed rendering of its woolly coat and curled horns, alongside a background with a tree and a distant church. The intricate details in the etching showcases Clemens's technical skill and his attention to naturalism, capturing the essence of the animal's form and features. This work serves as an excellent example of 18th-century animal illustration, reflecting the artist's fascination with the natural world.
